Hello everyone, I am the parenting treasure jun
Recently, due to the impact of the epidemic, children have all taken online classes at home. The kindergarten children have not arranged online classes, but the children are about to enter the first grade, and many parents are more anxious about the transition between children in kindergarten and primary school.
So everyone discussed in the WeChat group. What can I teach my children at home now? The parents started discussing in the group. Some parents said that it is okay to memorize ancient poems and recognize the numbers, and they should ask a professional teacher to teach the pinyin.
Some parents want to take their children to write, so as not to be able to write in the past year. At this time, some parents joked that it was too difficult to let their children write quietly. It was easy to let their children memorize something at that time. As long as they let their children write some words, the child would be like going to the toilet and saying that his hands hurt, but it was too difficult.
In fact, many parents are worried that they will not let their children learn to write in the senior class, and that children will not even be able to hold on to their writing, let alone do their homework.
The parents’ worries are not unreasonable, but before children practice writing, we should pay attention to cultivating their writing ability. This is actually a work that needs to be done in the kindergarten stage.
Because many parents do not know that children have a previous writing stage, they directly let their children write, which is not suitable for children at this stage, so it is easy for children to be unwilling to write, and it will be uncomfortable if the children really write.
What is the pre-writing ability? It may be the first time that many parents have heard of this word. It is indeed more of a professional term for kindergartens. However, if parents have a brief understanding, we can do some game activities at home to develop the kindergarten’s writing ability, which is beneficial to children’s future writing.
1. What is the pre-writing ability
We can commonly understand the pre-writing activities as: children use pens or other writing materials, children use alternatives such as drawing and scribing to express their thoughts and perceptions, and build pre-writing experience games and learning activities.
Because children do not know how to express their ideas in kindergarten, words belong to abstract logical thinking, and most children are still in the development stage of concrete and figurative thinking. When we see the text, it feels very simple, but for children, it may be a mess.
plus children's muscle development is not perfect, it is easy to use improper force to write, and it is very easy to be unable to understand or write.
So before children learn to write, more children use painting and their own language symbols to express their thoughts. What we see is often imaginative. When children express it to us, they find that they are full of children's imagination. Many times we find that children have more ideas than us.
So how can we grasp the children's writing skills in front of children and lay a solid foundation for future writing activities? First of all, we must be clear that in the kindergarten stage, we all develop and cultivate children's abilities through various games, which is not boring mechanical exercises. As parents, we must also clarify this principle at all times.
1. Hand exercise activities can start from the small class
Many parents think that writing is a matter of the end of the large class or even the large class. In fact, writing is a reaction to the development of the small muscle strength of the hand and the coordination ability of the hand and eye. If we want our children to write smoothly in the later stage, parents who are interested should work hard to exercise their children in the small class.
Small class: Develop the coordination of children's small muscles , which can be achieved through simple self-care exercises in life. For example, if you are using your own mini games such as buttoning, squeezing, twisting, and turning, we can search the Internet for special exercises.
We can also use art activities to make children familiar with holding pens and pens first. In fact, many children will feel that the pen is a bit dirty if they are unwilling to touch the pen. This is to let children try it for the first time, and they can let children paint coloring and connect activities.
Middle School Class: At this time, we must strengthen the development of children's wrist movements, such as throwing sandbags and pulling devices to develop children's large muscle strength. Further, hand-eye coordination can carry out activities such as paper cutting, shoelaces, and tidying the bed and clothes by yourself. Different forms of art activities can allow children to know more pens and improve children's hands control.
: When we arrive at the senior class, we provide children with various writing tools at home, such as pencils, brushes, chalks, writing books, rice paper, and different word card models, so that children can become interested in writing and be able to write and draw at will. In this process, we do not need to have too many requirements, and guide children to basically correct writing postures. Of course, when the child is in the senior class, we can let the child eat with chopsticks, which can also improve the flexibility of the child's hands.
In fact, if we start to cultivate and exercise children's hand flexibility and strength from an early age, it will be a natural thing to write. Cultivating an independent child will be beneficial to growth and learning.
2. Cultivate children's interest in writing in daily life
When the child is in the senior class, we can prepare a notepad for the child, use some writing symbols, numeric symbols, and text symbols to record their own ideas first, and start with what happened in the day. Children are based on some symbolic basics. Sometimes children will ask adults for help to record. Over time, children will become familiar with various symbols and gradually learn it.
3. Provide rich practice materials
We provide a variety of pens, different forms of operation cards, basic red-tracing exercises, and rich practice materials can help children from interest to practical exercises. For pens, we recommend children to transition from using thick and large watercolor pens, oil paint sticks to using pencils, signature pens and other ordinary pens.
After children have basic writing skills, we can try to let children write texts. They can start with the child’s name, understand the character grid, and simple text linking activities. can give children a sense of writing and a basic understanding of the shape of the characters. It will not be difficult to let children write formally.
Through different activities, we cultivate and exercise children's hand strength and basic writing awareness. Children's ability to write in advance will be greatly improved. Although we see that children's practice and activities seem simple or even rough, it is an important development of the ability of writing activities for children. A small step in children's practice is a big step in development. Parents must be a person with a heart so that their children can guide them correctly without taking detours. I hope that every child of us can successfully pass the transition period between kindergarten and primary school and become a happy primary school student.
